I'm grinding for Marvel attributes

Chapter 97 "Tony, Go, Become the Sorcerer Supreme"

Back at the Kamar-Taj Tea Room, the two Ancient Ones left first to brew tea for the group.

George, Gwen, Wanda, and Pietro were still in shock and couldn't recover for a long time.

Mephisto just arrived with overwhelming demonic flames, his aura fierce and menacing.

They thought a fight was about to break out.

I never expected it to unfold like this.

A short while later, the two Ancient Ones returned together.

Whitebearded Ancient One holds a teacup, while bald Ancient One holds the tea.

One person handed over the cup, and the other poured the tea.

The group accepted the tea, took a few sips, and gradually calmed down.

Although a fight didn't break out just now, Mephisto's infernal sea of ​​fire was still quite frightening.

After calming down, the group turned their expectant gazes toward Russell.

His eyes revealed an overwhelming excitement.

Without further ado, Russell opened the mirror space and released the souls of Wanda's parents and Helen.

However, it was different from the scene of reuniting with their loved ones that they had been looking forward to.

Wanda's parents, Helen's spirit, stood there blankly, their eyes vacant, as if they had lost their minds.

Seeing the look in their eyes shift from anticipation to disappointment and worry, Russell explained:

"Helen, Oleg, and Irina (Wanda's parents) have had their souls separated from their bodies for too long."

"In addition, being in a hellish environment and being corrupted by magical energy is what caused it to become like this."

"Once the contamination of hellish energy is gradually removed and the body is nourished with gentle energy for a period of time, it can recover."

With that, Russell returned the souls of Oleg and Irina to Wanda and her brother.

"Wanda, Pietro, you're both seasoned sorcerers now, you should know what to do, right?"

Wanda and Pietro carefully received their parents' souls and enveloped them with their spiritual power.

"We understand. But how long will it take before Mr. Stark can begin the cloning experiments?"

Wanda and Pietro can't wait to bring their parents back to life.

Why don't you call him and ask him?

Russell was helpless. He wasn't an expert, so how could he know when Tony would prepare for the cloning experiment?

Pietro immediately took out his phone and dialed Tony's number.

Then, Tony complained about it.

"Please, we've only been back from Earth-001 for less than half a day. In that time, the project team hasn't even finished reviewing the data yet."

Pietro asked sheepishly, "So, approximately how long will it take before we can conduct cloning experiments?"

"We've brought back the complete set of equipment, so theoretically we can start the experiment right now."

After a moment of silence, Tony continued.

"However, the techniques of the inheriting family are often only applicable to their family members."

"It will take a long time to modify it to suit ordinary people."

"How long will it take?" Pietro pressed.

"I don't know. Even with Jarvis's help, it will take at least three to five years."

Three to five years?

Pietro and Wanda exchanged a glance.

acceptable.

George and Gwen exchanged a glance.

acceptable.

Russell: "Is there a way to speed things up?"

Pietro, Wanda, George, and Gwen can accept it because their loved ones have been gone for many years, so a few more years won't make a difference.

But Russell couldn't accept it.

Matt is still young.

A month or two is fine, but what about three to five years?

How will he explain this to Matt?

Tony hung up the phone.

The next second, golden sparks flashed, and Tony stepped out of the portal.

"In the experiment, embryo culture requires a lot of time."

"If we can use the Time Stone to speed things up, we can shorten the time required for this part."

"It should reduce it by about one or two years."

After saying that, Tony glanced at Russell.

"But that means you'll need to stay in the lab and cooperate, Russell."

Russell shook his head.

He didn't want to spend years working in a lab.

"There's another way, Tony, what do you think?"

Since the scientific approach would take a long time, Russell decided to take shortcuts.

Russell reached out, palm up, and gathered a ball of attribute point energy.

"The problem now is that the cloned body is not compatible with the soul of an ordinary person in some ways."

"What if I made some adaptive adjustments to both this physical body and soul?"

Tony asked, "This is the energy you used to nourish Hope's soul? What other use does it have?"

He remembered that the last time in the quantum realm, Russell had given Natasha this kind of energy to nurture Hope's soul.

The effect seemed to be much better than when he used his spiritual power to nurture his parents' souls.

"Um."

Russell nodded and explained.

"The characteristic of this energy is that it enhances the physical body and soul, enabling them to adapt and evolve in the best possible direction."

Tony looked at the attribute point energy in Russell's hand, half believing and half doubting:

"There's such a magical energy? I've never heard of it before. But in that case, I might as well give it a try."

After saying that, he reached out his hand, gesturing for Russell to give him some so he could take it back and study it.

Russell didn't hesitate and immediately transferred a huge sum of money to Tony.

Attribute points worth 10 years of lifespan.

Tony withdrew his energy, but not his hands.

Russell said with dissatisfaction:

"Tony, what do you mean? The energy I gave you is more than enough for my experiments."

Tony remained unfazed: "Do you understand cloning technology, or do I?"

Seeing Tony's expression, Russell understood.

He wanted to conserve some of the energy for his own use.

After all, Tony was already over forty.

In addition, staying up late every day to study battle suits and spells inevitably made him feel powerless.

"Tony, if you need this energy to improve your body, just tell me. I won't laugh at you."

With a flick of his wrist, Russell produced another large sum of money.

Attribute points of energy worth five thousand years of lifespan.

Upon seeing this ball of energy, Tony's gaze towards Russell changed.

Wow, I didn't know you were so rich.

That's all they gave me.

Russell explained:

"Tony, absorb this energy slowly; it should last you a long time."

"Based on the absorption efficiency, it should be able to increase physical fitness several dozen times, and mental strength will also be greatly improved."

"As for the remaining energy, it will be converted into lifespan, which should add three or four thousand years."

Upon hearing Russell's words, Tony's expression changed repeatedly.

He believed in Russell.

He had witnessed Russell's physical constitution and mental strength.

"but."

"Here it comes," Tony thought to himself.

Usually, such good things are followed by a "but".

"However, in everything related to magic, the source determines everything. Tony, you should understand that, right?"

"Is the source of this energy you, Russell?" Tony asked.

"Yes." Russell nodded.

Without hesitation, Tony took the energy from Russell's hand.

"What's there to hesitate about? Russell, name your price."

"For a monk, it doesn't matter who he borrows from."

"A superhuman physique, a lifespan of thousands of years, and no side effects."

Other sources of magic aren't that generous.

Hmm, that's a very mage-like reaction.

Russell grinned.

"Tony, I'll give you a discount."

"Twice the amount of other magical energy."

Tony's expression shifted slightly.

This is a genuine and truly discounted price.

There are differences between different types of energy.

For monks, what often limits their practice is not the amount of energy they possess.

Rather, it's about one's own ability to withstand it.

What can prolong life and improve physical condition is usually black magic, which has very serious side effects.

Well, it's not that white magic can't do it.

Instead, it was Vishanti, the founder of white magic, who refused to allow it.

The Vishanti passed down white magic with the intention of having mages use it to combat black magic and protect the real world from magical invasion.

Instead of letting mages become the source of chaos in the real world.

Tony asked suspiciously, "Isn't there any other cost?"

"Other costs?"

Russell pretended to think for a moment, and then spoke.

"How about you protect me after you become the Sorcerer Supreme, Tony?"

Yes, the key is to become the Sorcerer Supreme.

The bald Ancient One couldn't help but laugh at the sight.

In order to persuade Russell to agree to succeed as the Sorcerer Supreme, she promised most of her fortune.

—A total of over a billion units of various types of energy.

At this moment, Russell took out five thousand units of energy to try and persuade Tony to become the Sorcerer Supreme.

However, things are valued for their scarcity.

This does not take into account the possibility of Russell turning against her.

Russell's attribute energy is indeed more noble than most other energies.

"Tony, your becoming the Sorcerer Supreme is the best reward for Russell."

Tony looked at the bald Ancient One with a puzzled expression.

"Ancient One, didn't you want Russell to succeed as the Sorcerer Supreme?"

The fact that the bald Ancient One pushed Russell to the position of Sorcerer Supreme is common knowledge in Kamar-Taj.

However, Russell's performance was indeed quite fierce.

The other monks had no objections.

Bald Guy explained with a beaming smile:

"Supreme Master" usually refers to the most powerful master.

"Either, master more powerful magical skills than others;"

"Either, master more powerful magical energy than others."

"Or, both."

"Normally, there is only one, at most two, Sorcerers Supreme in a world."

"But ultimately, the Sorcerer Supreme is defined by his strength, not by empty titles or definitions."

"As long as you are strong enough, you can subdue others."

"Even if there are three, four, or even more Sorcerers Supreme in one world, it doesn't matter."

"In the end, it's just an empty title."

Whitebeard, the Ancient One, added at this point:

"However, things will be different if you pass the Vishanti Trial."

"The Sorcerer Supreme who passes the trial can borrow even greater power from Vishanti."

Wanda, who had been listening in the background, asked in confusion:

"What's the difference between the two?"

She is also a candidate for Master Supreme favored by Russell and is quite interested in this topic.

Whitebeard Gu Yi stroked his beard, hesitatingly saying:

"Different names? One has Vishanti certification, the other doesn't."

Bald Guy explained with a smile:

Don't worry about it.

"Except for Universe 616, the Sorcerers Supreme in other universes do not need to pass the Vishanti Trial."

"I typed all of these myself."

Whitebeard Gu Yi was displeased upon hearing this:

"My Sorcerer Supreme was also earned through my own efforts."

"Only Stephen's is not."

"To say something the founder wouldn't like."

"I am the most supreme mage among all mages."

"Not the Supreme Master of Vishanti."

When I reached 2000 words, I felt it wasn't good to stop there, so I continued writing.

Then I wrote 3000 words, and I felt that stopping there was not a good idea.

But it's seven o'clock, time to update.
